4.5
Really enjoyed this book, felt very sad at points and the friendship and characters really drew me in actually didn't find any of it slow paced. Also got into researching Pompeii and Roman history too while reading, hope to hear more from other characters as well as the main in the next.
Moderate: Sexism, Slavery, Suicide, Rape, Sexual assault, and Death

Definitely one to heed the warnings for if you're sensitive to the themes of the book, but if you're thinking about picking it up I recommend it!

I loved it, it made me feel the pain, relief and insecurity of the characters
I somehow could get a feel of what being a prostitute at that time was
It was a tale of womanhood and love both platonic and romantic
